16 Taylors Mill Ln, Wilmington, DE 19808

Taylors Mill is a very special community for two reasons: architecturally impressive homes and exceptionally beautiful terrain. Secluded in one of the most desirable areas of Pike Creek Valley, the intimate community is defined by the woodlands that surround it and the dramatic elevation changes that form the backdrop for 25 spectacular homes. This custom built residence raises the bar on community standards that were already very high. The builder's commitment to construction standards far exceed code, plus his decision to marry distinctive design with sustainable building practices and state-of-the-art energy efficiency. The result is a home that speaks to European elegance, with architecturally dramatic common areas designed for gracious entertaining and comfortable living. When a home balances comfort with stylish elegance and energy efficiency with sustainable building practices, there are few comparables on the market. More than 5,700 square feet of living space comprises the first two floors, with another 2,000 in the finished lower level, which features a state of- the-art home theater and full, marble-tiled bath. In addition to volume ceilings, tall windows and very generous room sizes, the open main level floor plan offers both a study and a tucked away guest suite. Hardwood floors are enlivened with contrasting walnut banding in both the great room and keeping room off the kitchen. The second floor master suite is at the top of the luxury scale and includes a double tray ceiling in the bedroom and octagonal sitting room very large luxury bath with porcelain-stone tile floor, tub surround and shower walls; whirlpool tub, oversize shower with frameless glass walls, built-in seat, nine-head Kohler electronic DTV controls; his-and her wide maple vanities with granite counters, dressing table counter between; two large walk-in closets with organizers, plus separate shoe closet.
